They are good at what they do. I've a 2021 long range dual motor with upgraded power (acceleration boost) and drove round trip of 226 miles yesterday, all motorway 70mph cruise on and the odd squirt off roundabouts to get home with 4.44miles per kwh achieved and 28% battery left or nearly 90 miles range left in cool weather temps (early start and late home) with sentry on for 10 hours. They are a good electric option on a run and for a car that's now around £20k used, useable 300+ miles to a charge with sub 4 second 0 to 60 dash and higher top speed than this Facelift model 3 (came with Michelin pilot sport 4s as standard), worth a try especially if you can home charge on Octopus for a fiver a 'tank' overnight
The lack of stalks was a deal breaker for me. Those turn signal buttons on the wheel are extremely annoying to use in tight roundabouts. I'd much rather pay more to get stalks. It's just so frustrating and distracting to use while turning the wheel at the same time. In order to develop muscle memory, you need to memorize where something is, but that's just impossible to do in this case because the buttons change position when you turn the wheel, so you end up looking down a lot... It's just really annoying.. it doesn't feel safe, and frankly, I'm surprised it's even legal because it can be just as distracting as using your phone in certain situations.
When you turn and the buttons are upside down the top arrow is the one you press to turn out of the round about. Muscle memory will work after a few goes. I drove the M3 and worked it out in 10 minutes and yes sometimes you do second guess it but for most of the time you just do it.
@@alastairhatt360 The right turn signal will also always point inwards. The problem is though: How do you know unless you look down? The main problem isn't that it's impossible to use, it's that it's a distraction, because it often forces you to take your eyes off the road. You can't hit a moving target without looking. That's not how muscle memory works. I can operate a stalk with my eyes closed because it's always in a fixed position so eventually you'll learn the exact movement needed. That's not the case with these buttons. They will always be at different locations depending on how much you need to turn the wheel, so It forces you to look down, and that's the main problem. Sure, you can get used to it, but it's still a distraction. This is also why Euro NCAP will now revoke Tesla's flawless 5 star safety rating and downgrade it to just 4 stars, because they claim that these new controls on the wheel are distracting and a safety hazard. Norwegian driving schools have already started banning the model 3 because they say it's unsafe, especially for students, and they can't have a car that causes students to fail their tests in roundabouts. I wouldn't be surprised if the EU eventually comes up with some regulation too, demanding physical stalks for turn signals, because this causes most people to just stop using their turn signals. The model 3 is by far the most popular tesla, and when enough people stop using turn signals, or pressing the wrong button, it eventually becomes a problem. There will likely be accidents related to this too, and regulators will eventually be forced to take action.
Tesla always like to hide the frantic cost cutting to pay for that battery as a deliberate style choice. The die hard fans will then try to rationalise not having something that every other car has for very good reason as a forward thinking design decision. It is difficult to understand the connection why having an electric drive means all those drivers' aids such buttons, stalks and head up display suddenly become unnecessary. For a £40,000 car the rudimentary equipment level is especially a joke. The EV novelty is wearing off and difficult to see how they are going to sell these highly expensive stripped back basic vehicles in the future whose only attribute is being the best of the worst in electric.
@@michaeld5888 They definitely try to mask the cost-cutting as "innovation". I had a 2019 model S for several years and was actually extremely happy with it! It had good range, was very quiet and much cheaper to run than a gasoline car. It had an extra dedicated instrument cluster, adjustable air suspension, parking sensors, fog lights, stalks, etc. The only thing I hated about that car was the useless camera-based auto-vipers (another cost-cutting measure Tesla implemented years ago). The newer cars don't even have ultrasonic parking sensors. They are instead relying soley on cameras now, just like the terrible auto wipers. Another cost-cutting measure. Remove any part you can to cut costs, and replace it with something that's not really usable and probably never will be. As a customer I would much rather pay extra to have a dedicated rain sensor, park assist that actually works, an instrument cluster and so on. I don't wan't to pay lots of money for a car that's going to annoy me every time I use it, especially when those annoyances are caused by them removing minor parts that really doesn't cost that much.
Picked up my new Model 3 last week, I love, love, love all the detailed improvements, not just in one area, in every single aspect. So overall it's a big improvement on what was already a great car. It's early days but it looks like the motor is 15% to 20% more efficient 5 miles per kWh instead of 4. That's a massive bonus I was not expecting.
Having driven one of these for 6 weeks now, there is no need for a HUD. The speedometer is at a good height in your eyeline at top left of steering wheel (UK Right hand drive car). In other cars you are taking your eyes off the road completely and peering through the steering wheel spokes to read your speed.
Good no nonsense review. I view a lot of these and note other reviewers have not had issues with the lack of stalks after time with the car. Another ace Tesla have is their regular OTA software and phone app updates. Their cars improve over time, when parked at home. Example, they just enabled matrix headlight function on the 2024 Model 3 and all vehicles range prediction, charging information and maps are receiving tweaks.
I’ve watched a ton of M3 reviews and drive an M3 pre-facelift. I’ve just subscribed to your channel as this is the most concise and insightful brief review I’ve seen. Well done
For people who don’t indicate much (and there are plenty 🙄) the lack of stalks won’t be a big deal. But I’m an avid user of indictors…and in a BMW too. Who’d have thought!!😂! Going to be difficult to find the indicator button when you’re on a roundabout with several lanes and your indicator isn’t at the 9 o’clock position because the wheel is 167 degrees to the right, or whatever !! Replacing my company car in June but this may be a deal killer for me. I think rather than saving a few hundred dollars on production costs, the lack of stalks will put a lot of people off, and they’ll go elsewhere. 10 years ago, people were drooling all over anything ‘Tesla’. Now they’re just a bit too common, and there are plenty of other options.
They aren't going to win everyone over. A lot of people will actually really like it. I always hear the complaints of what some people want over the years but that's why there are other options out there.

@@alastairhatt360 Hi. Can you show me the data that indicates 99% of people don't use fog lights, please. Fog lights are specifically mounted low on a car to increase the angle of incidence between the emitted light and the driver's vision. This helps reduce the reflected light seen by the driver and allow better visibility. The angle of incidence is far less between the headlights and the drivers eyes and therefore the driver will see far more light reflected back from the fog. Looking at comments in many forums, there seems to be quite a lot of people who don't like matrix LED's.

Great review thank you. Daft question, why do you refer to 340 ish miles max range when Tesla website states a max 318 miles for the RWD? Have they revised the range down since it was released?
Vicky is a very good reviewer, but she is letting off the car too easily with Tesla's persistence with putting nearly all functions on a screen. The screen gear change and no stalk indicators is just utter nonsense....that's not to mention other pre-facelift nonsense like using the screen for things like opening the glovebox etc.
I live out in the country and drive on a lot of dirt roads. What happens when your Tesla cameras get covered in dust. My truck backup camera hardly ever has a clear view because it's covered in dust. I wouldn't want to have to clean multiple cameras multiple times a day for the car to work properly.
@@dvader3263 I am more concerned about how it may affect the vehicles performance not my being able to see with the cameras. Really don't want to see warnings telling me to clean the cameras. I learned to use mirrors not only for my vehicle but for backing tailers when I was about 8 years old driving while hauling hay.
What's happened to the LFP bateries on 2WD £ and Y models I viewed via SDA Dan. Are they ditched again? Sound mostly more sensible and cobalt and nickel - free? but have some downsides. I cannot remember! Always like Vicky's reviews.
All RWD model 3's are still fitted with LFP batteries - in fact the entire drivetrain for both the RWD and LR is exactly the same including batteries, inverters, reduction gears and motors as the previous generation model 3. Also all RWD model Y's available outside of North America still have an LFP battery pack, Giga Berlin uses the BYD blade pack in their Model Y, elsewhere it's a CATL pack.

That makes sense. A nice car nonetheless and great review.
Honestly it's a model s with updated model 3 design. Hopefully they get rid of the s and x and replace them with CT and Roadster. Have the project redwood be the entry model. Price it at 25k and top tier be 35k-40k. They would make more money this way.

Until those cars compete is same price with Tesla it’s not going to happen anytime soon. And it works both ways. Other car brands customers charging at Tesla supercharger can make a switch to Tesla also ( free advertising)

That's because up until now there haven't been any cars with 2 trunks (or boots) - The Beetle, 911's, Corsairs, Fiat 500's etc all only ever had 1 trunk / boot and it was in the front, this is to distinguish between the front and rear trunk / boot, i.e. you can no longer just say stick it in the trunk / boot - there are legitimately 2 ...one rear trunk/boot and a front frunk/froot on the same car.

Meanwhile it's being sold in Belgium for 39.990 euro. After the incentive you can get it for 34.990 euro.
Best value is the half price version available after only 18 months...
and zero, yes 0 sevicing costs.
Where do you get those? a 2019 with 60,000 miles is still more than £20k. Or did I misunderstand your point?
@@gap9992 Hertz is selling quite a few of their fleet Model 3's and Y's here in the States. A Model 3 Base RWD with 19K miles on the odometer is $28K USD.
her driving makes me nervous, so close to the edge 😬😬
Test drove one
Felt like being in a new office cubicle
Suspension softer, handling less sporty
Personal preference but the seats were less comfortable, cooling seats were fun, fans a bit loud

Insurance costs make this a bad buy at the moment
Hear say 😂😂…
Got a £585 quote, seams fair
And 9% apr
It seems all EV have higher premiums than their ACE equivalent.
Depreciation is terrible now as well
wow crap roads
I'd rather get an older petrol at a fraction of the price of this, as opposed to try and save the planet by making Elon Musk a trillionaire!
Still a bev so not a chance even without the huge insurance, catastrophic depreciation
And all Tesla’s in Edinburgh are driven by bellends
One Tesla, two Teslas 😉
cos you are poor whereas other many people see it as the bargain of the century and best car for value
Depreciation only matters if you want to sell it. Insurance probably reflects the ferrari-like performance
Fed Up with Chinese-looking cars…
couldn't be less "Chinese looking"

Stop making statements just for effect
@@rogerstarkey5390 Well, go out of your house some more, and have a look at the rest of Chinese cars coming here. Stop making statements thinking the others don't have eyes in their face, and go to Specsavers.
Aaaaahhhh!!! WHY did you say 'frunk'? God I hate the bloody word - we were quite happy with the boots in the fronts of our Beetles and 911's for decades, but no, Musk has to come along and make up a word for it, and the rest of the world has to bow down and follow him, as if he is the one who invented the concept! 😡
That's because up until now there haven't been any cars with 2 trunks (or boots) - The Beetle, 911's, Corsairs, Fiat 500's etc all only ever had 1 trunk / boot and it was in the front, this is to distinguish between the front and rear trunk / boot, i.e. you can no longer just say stick it in the trunk / boot - there are legitimately 2 ...one rear trunk/boot and a front frunk/froot on the same car.
